I handled press for the President\u2019s speech at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021. I have watched as the government, the media and the criminal justice system have worked tirelessly to destroy so many associated with January 6th \u2013 whether they entered the Capitol or not.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s why January 6th is so personal to me and its why I so eagerly agreed to cover Ashli Babbitt\u2019s mother\u2019s press conference today.<\/p>\n<p>The press conference was originally scheduled to be held outside the DC detention center in southeast DC where the J6 defendants continue to be held in deplorable conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the press conference was to \u2013 once again \u2013 call attention to the Constitutional and human rights abuses taking place at the DC Detention Center \u2013 where J6 prisoners are being held.<\/p>\n<p>At the last minute the press conference was moved to the Triangle at the Capitol and then moved again to another spot on the grounds of the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>I wandered around the Capitol building looking for the press conference, the moment I saw a handful of American flags flying from a spot in front of the Capitol, I knew I had found the event.<\/p>\n<p>Ashli Babbitt, the unarmed Trump supporter who was <a href=\"https:\/\/humanevents.com\/2021\/08\/27\/without-evidence-officer-who-committed-homicide-in-shooting-unarmed-ashli-babbitt-says-he-saved-lives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shot and killed by a Capitol Police Officer<\/a> on January 6th, is a name you won\u2019t hear from the members of the J6 Committee. It\u2019s not a name you will read in the pages of the Washington Post or the New York Times. Nor is it a name you will hear bandied about on <em>MSNBC<\/em> or <em>CNN<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all of the hyperventilating by the left and the legacy media, none of them seem remotely interested in what happened to Ashli Babbitt that day, nor are any of them even vaguely concerned about justice for Ashli and for her family.<\/p>\n<p>Micki Witthoeft, Ashli\u2019s mom, is an accidental activist, when I asked her about being thrust into this role after the state murder of her daughter, Witthoeft replies, \u201cI miss my little housewife life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Witthoeft is wearing a red t-shirt with the ubiquitous photo of Ashli, draped in the American flag in front of the Capitol, on it. As I talk to Witthoeft I can\u2019t stop looking at the photo of Ashli on her shirt \u2013 and I\u2019m sure that\u2019s the purpose. To never let anyone forget her daughter\u2019s life or her death at the hands of the US government.<\/p>\n<p>And while Witthoeft may miss her \u201clittle housewife life\u201d she is far from a shrinking violet. This housewife has turned political activist and speaks eloquently and passionately about the murder of her daughter \u2013 and she doesn\u2019t mince her words:<\/p>\n<p>It has been awful. The phone call you never want to get. Like I said my daughter was deployed four times and there were some days I was surprised not to get a call that something happened to her. But to know that she came to a Trump rally and was shot by her own government was just a completely shocking situation.<\/p>\n<p>Burying a child is an unimaginable pain for a parent, something no parent expects to do, but for Witthoeft that pain was compounded by her daughter\u2019s murder being associated with January 6th:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had three different places tell me no, no, no, this is too controversial. So even getting my child home and in a place of rest was difficult for me\u2026 they wouldn\u2019t even let me bury my child\u2026 she was denied rendering of honors by the Air Force, despite being deployed four times and injured on her 21st birthday\u2026 she gave her youth, her ability to have a family and eventually her life for this country and they deny her the rendering of honors, so yeah I am pissed off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When I ask Witthoeft about the lie told by the media that the only people who died on January 6th were five police officers, she is quick to correct the record:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The truth is that four American patriots died that day \u2013 my daughter, Roseanne Boyland, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Philips died at the hands of the Capitol police that day. And it is my belief that Officer Sicknick could possibly be still alive if they would have rendered him aid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Witthoeft is certainly no fan of the J6 Committee, and with good reason \u2013 despite all of their histrionics about J6, no effort has been made by the committee <a href=\"http:\/\/they wouldn\u2019t even let me bury my child\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to find out why Ashli was murdered that day<\/a>. When I ask her mom how many times she has been contacted by the committee, she tells me, \u201cnone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The anger and disappointment Witthoeft feels is certainly not a partisan affair, when I ask her about why so many Congressional leaders \u2013 especially Republicans \u2013 have been silent on the issue of the treatment of J6 prisoners and I point out that no member of Congress was standing there with her today, she responded, \u201cAmen, kinda says it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I concluded my interview by asking her what she would say to the January 6th Committee if she was called to testify.\u00a0 Her answer?\u00a0 \u201cI would tell them to kiss my ass.\u201d<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike so many covering January 6th and its aftermath, I\u2019ll be completely upfront about my biases.
